Just dont drive like a d**k and you'll be fine. They are GPS trackers so they will be on the money

Yeah it would pick up where you are speeding, and then your premium will go up.

Where I work there was a funny example, there was a kid who was doing doughnuts in a car park, who then knocked into a parked car and said it was due to the weather, they checked the tracker of the box and it just showed all the doughnuts he had been doing in the car park.

if your keen to get reduction and dont mind searching a bit its possible to get insurance from abroad(France i know do it)once you find a french agent just be honest with them and ask where you need to be registered and things,about five years back it was equivalent to about£140 compared to around £600 at the time in england...

It's good if you drive carefully, that's the point in it. They will monitor it on a 3 monthly basis and assess your driving to your premium (usually)

you could always try ringing up that insurance called Adrian flux, apparently you can settle things over the phone for a competative price as your talking to someone who you can bargain with rather than a computer calculater. a lot of my friends are on that and have recommended it to me.

Also I think Adrian Flux gives club discounts and are mod friendly
